An upbeat drama to watch when need laughter in your day
I just finished watching this drama and wanted to share my thoughts.At first, I had to check MDL to confirm the genre because I wasn't sure if it was meant to be a comedy or if it just had a bad script. Thankfully, it is a comedy!
The series is incredibly over-the-top with everything. For instance, I couldn't stop laughing at the bathtub placed in a shallow wading pool in the first episode. The dynamic between the characters is also entertaining; Peach acts as the voice of common sense, while Thee is an unoriginal "drama king."
Overall, it’s a great show if you need a happy pick-me-up, though I likely wouldn't add it to my re-watch list.
I’d give it a personal rating of 7/10.
While the pairing was good, I felt the intimate connection fell a bit short as they got closer, perhaps due to the rom-com format.
My favorite part was the final episode where Pond sings; his vocals are beautiful. I’ve actually been looking up his and Phuwin’s music on YouTube to add to my playlist.

Goofy Love Story
Man I wish this drama was longer!! I loved every second, every episode of this drama. I thought it was going to be more of a serious drama with the whole mafia family aspect but it truly was just a goofy love story and I loved it just as much.PondPhuwin does it again! Their chemistry is unmatched, I swear with every new drama they just keep getting better and better. The yearning in this was so good, I loved just how in LOVE with Peach Thee was it was so perfect. The way they balanced each other so perfectly was *chefs kiss* Peach continuously bringing Kian back down to earth and Thee providing that safety and security Peach always needed was soooo good.
Side couple time, I am biased as the biggest PerthSanta fan that the fact that they were in this drama just added points for me, and of course WilliamEst kills it again!! Both side pairings already have so much chemistry it was just the perfect casting. I do however wish that both couples got more screen time cause we never really got to fully delve into their stories and relationships. All the more reason to hope for a second season.
This drama had be giggling and straight up laughing out loud every episode. They are all so cute but like Pond is so funny in this, the fact that everyone said that he just plays himself I just love that so much cause Kian was just so sweet I literally made only 1 note while watching and it was "I love Pond so much and his goofy, dorky smitteness like ughhhh Khun Thee GREEN Flag"
I love that this truly was just like a fun fluffy love story, there wasn't any major conflicts, I wasn't stressed through episodes waiting for them to resolve. Just so so good I will definitely be rewatching!

Rich, Cringe, and Charming
Me and Thee is one of those projects where I can confidently say I liked it as a whole, even if it knew exactly what kind of chaos it wanted to be. It is the perfect mix of too much and a little too much, wrapped into one very self aware package.Cringe? Yes.
Funny? Definitely.
Lovable? Somehow, yes.
Rich? Extremely.
To be fair, the only PondPhuwin project I have watched before this was We Are, so most of my comparisons naturally come from there. And compared to that, Me and Thee feels lighter, louder, and far less serious. The plot itself is nothing new. Pond’s character is rich in money, Phuwin’s character is rich in love, mainly coming from his sister. You already know the dynamic going in, and surprisingly, you do not really mind it as the episodes go by.
The only thing that really made me roll my eyes was the mafia angle. Once again, a “rich family with mafia ties” storyline was introduced and handled in the most predictable way possible. If they truly want to push that kind of backstory, then they really need to study how it is done properly. At this point, the mafia element felt more like decoration than an actual threat or narrative driver.
That said, Pond looked like he genuinely enjoyed this project. He felt more relaxed here than in We Are, more smiley, more playful, and that energy carried through the screen. His reactions whenever Phuwin goes full lovey dovey were genuinely funny, and I can see why viewers gravitated toward that. Phuwin, on the other hand, remains a solid actor. He has consistently strong moments, and his chemistry with Pond is undeniably natural. They balance each other well, and that chemistry is one of the drama’s strongest points.
If you break the drama down to its core, it is about a rich, awkward, slightly cringey businessman who believes money can move mountains (which I think Khun Thee does, because he tried to move Peach's house, pun intended), yes Khun Thee really does live up to his name, falling for a photographer fresh out of a breakup. And honestly, that concept alone already ticks most of the boxes. That is the show. Everything else feels secondary.
However, I do think the production company still struggles with writing something that is both entertaining and cohesive. This is not a new issue, and you can see traces of it in their previous projects as well. The ideas are there, but the execution often feels messy.
WilliamEst deserves a mention too. They were fun to watch, and it was refreshing to see a different side of Est after ThamePo. William’s yearning expressions alone could convince anyone, so it is no surprise Mok gave in. Performance wise, they were good, with moments that really stood out, similar to Phuwin.
At its heart, Me and Thee is a comedic disaster in the best way possible. You laugh at Khun Thee owning GMMTheeV. You laugh at his innocence, his stupidity at times, and how ridiculously lovesick he becomes. You laugh simply because he exists. That is what carried the drama. Everything else followed after.
This is another GMMTV drama that people will either find entertaining, just okay, or completely unwatchable. I fall into the entertained category. It is not perfect, and seriously, stop adding mafia plots if you are not going to commit to them. But the fluff and the cringe overshadow most of its flaws. Still, I hope future projects give PondPhuwin more substance because they are good actors who deserve better material. Underutilized, yes, but in this case, I was entertained.

Review: "Me and Thee" – A Balance of Emotion and Untapped Potential
I don’t claim to be a professional TV critic, but after finishing "Me and Thee", I felt compelled to share my thoughts on this Thai series, which left me with a mix of admiration and a few "what ifs."Overall, the series is truly beautiful. The first round of applause must go to the cast: Pond and Phuwin have shown incredible artistic growth. Their ability to fully embody their characters made every emotion feel tangible. In particular, Phuwin’s portrayal of Peach’s past was so poignant that it moved me to tears on several occasions.
The narrative pacing was also a pleasant surprise. The story doesn’t feel rushed; it allows events the necessary time to unfold naturally, which is not always a given in these productions. Furthermore, the comedic touch brought by Thee (Pond) is a breath of fresh air, keeping the plot from feeling monotonous or repetitive.
Despite its strengths, I can’t give the series a top-tier rating for a few reasons. While the potential was enormous, the execution of the story felt a bit thin in places. I would have appreciated:
• A deeper dive into the psychology of certain characters.
• More plot twists to heighten the stakes.
• A few more episodes to allow the subplots to breathe.
Because of this, my attention often shifted toward the secondary couples. I found myself wanting more of their storyline, and I’m hopeful that they might get more screen time in potential special episodes.
In conclusion, "Me and Thee" is definitely worth a watch, especially for the incredible performances of the leads. I certainly recommend it, but with a word of advice: go in without overly high expectations regarding the complexity of the plot, and simply enjoy the emotional journey.
Rating: 7.5 / 10

a RomCom it lacks
I watched this series because of Phuwin. He’s an actor I’ve followed with great curiosity because of his versatility and willingness to take on different roles. I’ve always enjoyed the chemistry between Pond and Phuwin, whether in more serious dramas or lighter projects, and they generally complement each other well.That said, Me and Thee was a little difficult for me to follow. Perhaps it’s because it leans completely into sitcom territory rather than romantic comedy. It lacks the emotional warmth and gradual character development that I usually associate with a good rom-com. Maybe the intention was simply to entertain without asking the audience to think too much and perhaps that’s exactly how it should be watched.
I love comedy when it’s done well because comedy is all about timing. Robin Williams once remarked that comedy demands more emotional honesty and skill than dramatic acting, and I tend to agree. Making people laugh while keeping the characters believable is one of the hardest things an actor can do. Unfortunately, much of the humor here felt forced rather than effortless, making it difficult for me to fully connect with the characters.
I couldn’t help comparing it to Eddie Murphy’s performance in Coming to America. He played a prince with impeccable comedic timing, yet never sacrificed the sincerity of the character. The film balanced comedy and romance beautifully, proving that a rom-com can be hilarious while still allowing its characters to grow.
I’m certain Pond and Phuwin will continue to take on more projects, and I hope they keep challenging themselves with roles that push their range. Pond’s performance in Dalah: Death and the Flowers revealed a far more intense and commanding side of him. His portrayal carried a quiet anger and confidence, and his command of English added another layer of authenticity to the role.
The WillEst pairing also brought a refreshing dynamic to the series. Although they were only in supporting roles, they injected a different energy into the story. I just wish their characters had been given more screen time and substance, as they weren’t enough to add the depth the series needed.
Overall, Me and Thee may appeal to viewers looking for a lighthearted sitcom, but it didn’t quite deliver the blend of comedy, romance, and character development I was hoping for. The cast certainly has the talent; this time, I felt the material simply didn’t allow them to showcase it fully.

silly, impropable and deliously sublime at times
I am a fan of Pond and Phuwin. But wasn't prepared for Pond going out on a limb like this! He is delightful and handles the over the top comedy quite well. They just click no matter what the material (and this is pretty darn good, with some minor glitches) and there is an ease now between them and the camera. I didn't know I needed a fairy tale like this, but it sure made the world a less darker place.Yes, side characters are given short shrift, especially when they are using BL actors of such calibre. The Mafia thing is a red herring and nothing really bad ever happens...even the Mafia father is....well no need to spoil that plot line.
So enjoy the sweet ride and binge on a weekend. I did as the snow was swirling outside my window but it was warm and happy in my home. Think its time to go back and rewatch NEVER LET ME GO, again!

At least the first half was a good time!
I was prejudiced against this show because of its mafia boss premise for the longest time, and people’s reviews highlighting the cheesy lakorn-inspired flirting weren’t convincing me to give it a chance. However, I found myself scrolling through the GMMTV catalogue on a day with nothing particular to do, and this was the only show with relatively good reviews I hadn’t watched. Also, the mention it earned itself in Head 2 Head alongside the general hype surrounding it (which seems to have resulted in the sequel “Peach and me”?) were all the more reasons to put on an episode.And just like that one episode became two, two became three, and I was hooked.
I actually had no issue with the cheesy flirting and the out-of-touch mafia boss lead. I even found the dynamic Thee and Peach had very enjoyable to watch, at least in the beginning. Even the cringe moments (that were definitely there) did not result in as much second-embarrassment as I imagined they would. I really enjoy shows depicting class differences and how such are navigated in relationships, so I was living for every single moment in which Peach told Thee off. It seemed to me that Thee was also improving up until they labelled each other boyfriends. Then it all went downhill.
For one, as soon as they established some sort of (shaky) common ground, the fun back and forth they had almost disappeared. Thee continued with his rich antics from the beginning of the show, and Peach would simply shake his head and only intervene when things really crossed his boundaries. Their relationship was elevated, but their chemistry didn’t go anywhere - this show had some of the worst kisses and intimate scenes I’ve seen, so when the proposal eventually came, I was completely flabbergasted. Nothing I had seen on screen so far suggested the emotional and physical closeness I would expect from a couple about to get married. In general, I had somewhat of a hard time believing Peach was just as into Thee as much as Thee was into him. The development of his feelings was mostly believable until he opened up about his childhood trauma in the hospital, but after that, other than Thee pampering him and saving his life once, what other reason did Peach have to love him?
Thee barely changed as a character. Sure, he got a taste of Peach’s normal life, he made a compromise or two, but in the end of the day, he didn’t have to give up anything to be with Peach. Peach not only had to give up his safety (for a time being, apparently everything was fine after the Japanese company left the country. What?), he also had to completely change his lifestyle, obey to Thee to show his love (bathe him, brush his teeth, literally what the fuck), commit to a marriage like, what, one month into the relationship AND he even got children in the end of this all? I would’ve much rather preferred Thee ruining his relationship with his family, exposing the negative sides of being this rich and therefore constantly in danger, eventually choosing to move in with Peach and have a peaceful and normal life with him.
Speaking of Thee and his perfume business: is he a mafia boss in the end or not? The money laundering allegations of ARSENI were rejected, and sure, he used money to get his way, but the show also constantly insisted on him doing things (mostly) lawfully. So why did Peach keep calling him a “mafia boss” if even his own father said he did everything better than him, and why was there a fucking gun on that wedding poster? I mean, if I have to be very real, no such amount of wealth is accumulated in lawful ways and without human exploitation, but if the show wanted to portray Thee as a “good rich person”, it should’ve at least stayed consistent with the ways not only Peach, but also everyone else talks about him.
Also, if love was such a big deal for the Lee family, then why did Peach have 0 issues with proving himself? The show set up this conflict to be way more important than it actually ended up being. That, combined with the nothing burger resolution of the rivalry with the Japanese company, made for a really unsatisfying ending. Not to fall into clichés, but it would’ve been 10 times better if something bad had happened to Peach or Thee and they had to confront the fact that, ultimately, they couldn’t keep their promise to ensure the other one’s safety at all times.
On the good side, Mok’s character was iconic, and Est is just perfect for that role (and not only because he looks damn good in those glasses). I really enjoyed watching his reactions to Thee’s actions, as well as his inner conflict between being his friend and his employee, and between prioritising his feelings for Rome and staying professional. That was a great touch to the story. I would’ve loved to know more about how the romance between him and Rome bloomed - was it a childhood crush that carried on? A drunken hookup on one of Mok’s days off that he still regrets to this day? What did Mok like about Rome? Considering the big role Mok had in the show, I would’ve loved to see more of his perspective on things (but maybe we are going to get this in “Peach and me”?).
For good or for bad, I am tuning in for the sequel. If this show has anything going for it, it’s interesting characters. If you expect crazy chemistry, this one is not for you - Peach is like a dead fish in all intimate scenes, and his feelings for Thee seem unbelievable until the very end. Also, if you want to watch something more critical of the rich and capitalism in general, don’t even think about starting this one. “Me and Thee” was a fun time, but the longer one thinks about its contents, the more one realises they are the result of pure brainrot (maybe similarly to Thee, the screenwriters had AI assisting them…)

it’s a good cheesy romcom!
i went into this expecting it to be silly and fun and i wasn’t disappointed. i thought pond did a good job playing the eccentric and over the top thee; which is so different to what we’ve seen from him before! and i adored phuwin as peach, but that goes without saying. he’s great. the main thing that i loved was rome and mok, it was great to see william and est in new roles! they’re so good at the whole yearning thing! overall a good series! enjoyable if you don’t take it too seriously! 🌟🌟🌟🌟Was this review helpful to you?

Wattpad but WAY better
Mafia and photographer, I WAS SAT. This show is actually very beautiful like I was amazed at times and usually focus on the story. The episodes actually have titles which I’m thankful for since most bls don’t. I also love that the mafia part is so over exaggerated and Peach clocks him. I also love a clue less main character. But Aran and Tawan oh hell no get em banned I don’t like them one bit and the other couple is underdeveloped, seems like a trend with side couples in Thai shows.Was this review helpful to you?
Me and Thee: Fiction Within Fiction or Pure Reality?
To be honest, I had my doubts before starting this one. I felt that GMMTV productions, and specifically PondPhuwin projects, were becoming a bit monotonous, relying more on the actor´s real-life popularity than on the quality of the scripts. However, this series turned out to be a refreshing surprise that finally breaks that streak.The PondPhuwin Dynamic: Sweetness vs. Reserve
As a devoted fan of this pair, it’s impossible not to notice their contrasting styles:
Pond (Thee): He is truly in his element here. The role of a mafia boss who is secretly obsessed with lakorns fits his acting range perfectly. Pond is incredibly tender when showing love; he has that specific gaze that makes you believe he is genuinely head-over-heels.
Phuwin (Peach): While he feels much more connected to his character than in previous works, I still feel that in moments of intimacy or physical contact, he comes across as a bit forced or stiff. It’s something we fans have come to accept as part of his style, but the contrast with Pond’s natural, sweet delivery is evident.
What Works (and What Doesn't)
The series is witty and genuinely funny. The premise of a mafia boss falling for a humble photographer through the lens of cinema is brilliant. The humor is well-timed, and Peach’s flat, logical responses are the perfect foil for Thee’s quirky antics. Furthermore, Est and William (Mok and Rome) add an interesting layer to the story; their ending felt like a fun snippet of their real-life interactions.
However, it’s not without its flaws:
Perth and Santa (Ran and Tawan): I feel they got a raw deal. Their plot involving toxic jealousy masked as love was resolved in a rushed, almost asinine way by episode nine. Despite this, Santa delivered a very sincere emotional performance, and Perth proved once again that he is a powerhouse actor, though it’s definitely time for him to move away from the "sullen, angry boyfriend" roles.
Final Verdict
The ending of the series is, quite simply, perfect. Those few seconds after "The End" tie the entire concept together, framing the production as the actual love story of Peach and Thee.
Despite the pacing issues in the subplots and that slight rigidity from Phuwin that we’ve grown used to, the series achieves what many others fail to do: it feels authentic, hilarious, and mature all at once.

It was okay?
The series starts off poor, gets really strong in the middle, but the ending... Meh.The ending is such a strange pace. I don't know if it's because they only had 10 episodes to do it in, but it definitely felt like it needed at least 12 episodes, min, to flesh out the final bits of the ending.
I'd recommend watching it yourself. There's obviously a lot of fanfare regarding it, considering the score (which I struggle to understand, it feels more like an 8.1/8.2 tbh)
--
Acting: Was good, but the intimacy scenes was a bit subpar tbh, feels a bit dated in acting style, You can see 'Peach' invert his lips before kissing in one scene... It gets subtly better near the end, but even so. It's 2026. Even Korea's getting better at it.
Music: No complaints really, sound effects actually made me chuckle a few times at how well placed they can be, but again, it's a GMMTV, so expect a few.
Story: Story started out in typical unrealistic fashion, got pretty good, bit of a build up of tension between rival company, and parents, that is resolved almost instantly in both regards, which is good if you just want fluff, but wasn't needed if so.
